Restoring Our Strength #7

Many of us as followers of Christ find the book of James helpful in daily life. It's clear-cut, down-to-earth, cut-to-the chase practical wisdom is what we need in our face. Right off in chapter 1 he says:

2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Keep the proper perspective. As you struggle in life, look upon it as a way for God to work in your life.  Hang in there. Whatever you need, trust God for it.  And as he works his way through the book he talks about needing wisdom, needing self-control, needing healing in relationships, needing forgiveness In each and every challenge, God can do something.  The same is true when we lack strength, when we struggle just to get up and moving. God will give the strength we need for that day, for that calling, for His glory. Be steadfast and call on Him for strength.
